Feast Days

[papau]

Feast day for Saint Mary Magdeline was July 22nd when I was growing up.

Her name refers to Magdala, a city in Galilee, and post 1970 she is no longer a "fallen women" redeemed.

Someone posted her feast day as April one per DaVinci Code book.

Am I just not getting an April Fools joke?

1. You are correct...

her feast day is July 22nd.

Here is a good link for info on Saints. They have the Saint of the Day as well as an alphabetical listing you can check.

April 1 is the feast day of St. Hugh of Grenoble.

In addition to being an awful writer, I don't think Dan Brown was too concerned with his facts. Quite a bit of what he based his story on came from a medieval document 'discovered' I believe in the 1970's. It was subsequently debunked as a forgery.
